Pandas 3.0 is (supposedly) going to release pretty soon, and it will bring several breaking changes with it. Most notably, Pandas copy-on-write performance optimization (introduced in Pandas 1.5 and completed in Pandas 2.1) will become the default execution mode, and Pandas eager execution mode (i.e., the default since Pandas' first release) will be removed.
To help us get a head start on supporting Pandas 3.0, this PR adds a new GitHub Action that will install Thicket with Pandas 3.0 and run our unit tests. Unlike the standard CI, a failure of this new Action should not caused the overall status of the PR to be marked as a fail (i.e., the red X you see in the Pull Requests tab). It should also create and/or update a comment on the status of Pandas 3.0 support.
